Breaking News Eagles Land Chip Kelly

Because Chip uses a dual-threat QB.. not sure how his system works without one. Foles is the exact opposite of that. Chip was given control over player movements also.. kinda what Carrol got. Pete did a complete overturn of the roster, 50-something moves in one off-season... I would be surprised if Chip did the same thing.

Better go get Joe Webb or that man-child who wore #10 for the titans because Jackson isn't much of a threat (dual or singular) these days.

He's dumb. He recognized that Amano, Harris, and Scott sucked... big whoop. We all knew that. They got by in 2010 somewhat decently. But you could tell our run blocking was not what is once was when Mawae was around. He caught an early glimpse and made a pretty easy prediction. Not impressed.

It was like me saying the Saints and Steelers would not make the playoffs before the season started... not too hard to predict, although that is much more impressive than saying the Titans o-line would suck.

I'm not saying he's a genius, but he was the only guy on TV at the time knocking our line.

I do want to mention that I see Chips scheme working for a few years, but NFL D/Cs will figure out to stop it.. the biggest question is can he adapt once that happens?

I think he can pull it off. The biggest thing that got in the way of the losers I posted was their ego. If he can get good coordinators in there and works with them he can be alright. If he comes in like he is going to show those NFL guys something then, well, he will fall flat.

I also worry about why he is leaving. A few weeks ago he wanted to stay at Oregon. Now he want to go to the NFL. Something tells me he is getting out of Dodge before he is fired for recruiting violations. Been a lot of big name coaches fired in recent years for NCCA violations, abuse of players, and other non-fiootball-peroformance issues. Not sure how much his heart is in the NFL. Could be just an escape plan.

Tom Couglin was the OC at Syracuse before coming to the NFL and working his way up. Doesn't really count...

Door is still open for Greg Schiano.

Harbaugh counts.

Carroll doesn't, he was an NFL coach first.. but mostly remembered as a USC coach.
Bill Walsh was the HC @ Stanford before coming to the 49ers.

So yeah, I guess you're right lol .

It always shocks me what I see the money owners give these guys despite repeated failures. Guys like this would be better off coming in as a coordinator first. Then working their way up. Like you pointed out with Tom Coughlin. Money and ego get in the way though :(

You can't pay him.. you see his deal 5yr/88mil left, and he'll be 33 this summer. So in 5 years when he's 38 he'll be making 20mil that year. Vicks time is basically up, he's getting older.. slowing down. He still has no arm. Still can't read defenses.

Do you blame them? I'd do the same thing. They dominate the college football, NCAA starts asking questions.. they jump ship and go to the NFL and get paid. Then, once they suck up the NFL, they go back to the NCAA without sanctions.

If he does, then yes.. great fit. But, I doubt he does. He'll be making 88 million, I'd pay him half of that. 5yr/44mil, thats 8.8 mil a year. Tell him to take it or leave it. If he leaves it, I doubt any other team pays him much better.
